- Company Plans Two Additional Screens at Williamsport, PA Location to
Create 11-Plex Digital Theater in Early 2014, Growing Circuit to 223 Screens -
WESTFIELD, New Jersey (November 7, 2013) - Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (NasdaqCM: DCIN), a fast-growing motion picture exhibitor dedicated to transforming movie theaters into digital entertainment centers, today announced the signing of an asset purchase agreement to acquire a 10-plex in Londonderry, NH (Boston DMA 7) from Eastern Shores, Inc. (dba O’Neil Cinemas). Digiplex previously acquired its Lisbon, CT theater from O’Neil in fall 2012.
Pursuant to the Londonderry agreement, Digiplex will be negotiating a new 10-year lease at this property, with options to extend. Additional financial terms of this agreement were not disclosed, and the transaction is anticipated to close in early 2014. Separately, Digiplex also announced that its Williamsport, PA theater landlord has agreed to subdivide two of the nine auditoriums at this location, expanding it to an 11-plex. Work is expected to be completed by early 2014 and is being funded by the property landlord.
Digiplex Chairman and CEO Bud Mayo stated, “We are very excited to enter the Boston DMA, the nation’s seventh largest, with our pending acquisition of the all-digital Londonderry 10-plex. Similar to our Lisbon location, which we also acquired from O’Neil Cinemas, this all-digital, state-of-the-art theater has premium 3D-compatible screens and D-BOX 4D seating, as well as other amenities that our guests truly enjoy at other Digiplex entertainment complexes around the US. The Lisbon theater continues to perform very well and we expect Londonderry to also be an excellent addition to our circuit.
“Inclusive of our recently announced entrees into the Baltimore, MD and Daytona, FL markets, New Hampshire will mark our ninth state with a Digiplex entertainment complex. The Company’s ultimate target national footprint remains 100 locations and 1000 screens, as we continue to successfully execute upon our active growth strategy. Since our IPO in April 2012, we have added more than 200 screens to our circuit, including pending additions, resulting in almost 1100% screen growth from our initial small footprint,” added Mr. Mayo.
